Land Game Development and Testing

The land game is set for a critical test launch by the end of next week or the beginning of the following week, marking a near-final step before going live.

• The test will cover all key mechanics, including prime upgrades, token integration, token sinks, and on-chain RNG, ensuring full functionality before release.
  • The team has integrated most community feedback into the current build.
  • Development timelines remain uncertain due to inherent unpredictability, as explained by the lead developer, who emphasized the complexity of game development.
  • Adjustments were made to the initial game design to incorporate risk mechanics, reflecting current market trends where risk generates revenue for both players and the platform.
  • The prime upgrades will be free to perform, with monetization coming from optional boost purchases.
• RNG mechanics for prime upgrades will involve success and failure chances, with failure leading to downgrade rather than destruction, reducing player frustration while maintaining risk.
  • Players can buy insurance for upgrades with real money.
  • This system mirrors the previous weapon upgrade approach but is tracked fully on-chain for transparency.
  • The risk-focused design aligns with successful examples like the on-chain heroes game generating $1 million in revenue in one week.
• Season one lands will not be tradable initially, reflecting caution around economy stability at launch.
  • Early land launch will likely have economic imperfections that will be addressed over time.
  • Community engagement is being maintained by activating arcade games and running weekly Twitter posts to build hype.
  • Engagement metrics are strong despite no live game, with posts receiving 400-500 likes and 20,000-30,000 views, outperforming some live projects.

Coin Ecosystem and Launch Strategy

The Coin token will launch shortly before the land game test, serving as the core currency powering the ecosystem rather than a traditional token with direct utility.

• Coin is designed as a layer zero chain token with no utility by itself but enabling a network of independent apps to build revenue streams around it
  • The token supply will be fully unlocked on day one but will circulate progressively based on demand rather than an immediate full release.
  • This drip distribution aims to prevent market dumps common in traditional token launches.
  • Multiple apps, including 77 Bit, will buy back Coin from the market using part of their revenue, creating buying pressure.
  • The Coin ecosystem is currently in early formation with a small team and community leaders growing the network.
• Coin’s governance will be decentralized, with no CEO or central team, modeled after Bitcoin’s structure.
  • The foundation for Coin will be established later to support ecosystem growth.
  • Coin holders will receive an airdrop, including Quantum Core NFT holders, with detailed information to be released at launch.
  • The token will progressively roll out across various chains including Abstract, Solana, and Ethereum.
• Integration of Coin in 77 Bit game will be extensive but not exclusive, as revenue will still be generated in stablecoins to avoid dumping Coin on the market.
  • Players can buy Ronin NFTs with Coin post-launch.
  • Coin will be used for in-game purchases where possible to build an internal economy.

Marketing, Community Engagement, and Transparency

Despite delays, marketing efforts maintain strong community interest and engagement, supporting ongoing momentum.

• Weekly Twitter posts and bi-weekly calls maintain transparency and community involvement, with regular developer presence on Discord.
  • Posts consistently reach 20,000-30,000 views and 400-500 likes, showing solid engagement despite no live product.
  • The team acknowledges the challenge of creating hype without live gameplay but believes current efforts are adequate.
  • The lead developer personally reassures the community of his commitment as a major shareholder and active team member.
• Community arcade events are being considered to provide engagement before full game launch.
  • The arcade games can be released on the website immediately but lack on-chain features like payment and leaderboards.
  • Implementing on-chain leaderboards would require about one month of development and risk fraud without proper safeguards.
  • The team will prioritize releasing playable arcade games on the site to maintain community fun.

Smart Contract Upgrades and XP Issues

Upgrading smart contracts for NFT rebirth and XP tracking is planned but dependent on art readiness and platform responses.

• Smart contract upgrades will occur before Coin launch even if new art is incomplete, to enable functionality like Coin airdrops and game play.
  • Delaying upgrades risks community confusion and loss of trust.
  • The upgrade will merge old and new art as necessary to avoid delays.
• XP tracking issues on Abstract platform are under investigation, with the team following up on insufficient XP allocation for Quantum Cores and origin skin.
  • No resolution yet; ongoing communication with Abstract team is active.
  • XP is critical for in-game progression and user satisfaction, making this a priority.
